Creating a copy of the original image (New Variant)

This option creates a new variant of the source image with the default settings applied. You can use this option when you want to create a copy before applying any adjustments. It is also useful when you have made a series of adjustments without keeping a copy of the original variant. Creating a new variant lets you keep the adjusted variant and allows you to start over on working with copy of the original image.

1. Select the image that you want to create a copy of with the default settings applied (this can be an image with adjustments already applied).
   
   
2. In the main menu, select Image -> New Variant or press F2/F7 (macOS/Windows). Alternatively, right-click on the image and select New Variant.
   
   
3. A single copy of the image without any adjustments is created (i.e. a new variant with the default settings is created).
   
   
4. The new variant is added automatically to a variant group and numbered with a position (displayed in the browser).
